Think baked Mac and cheese, but with potatoes, ham and bacon instead of Mac. The dish was just what I needed after a long ride across the island. We stopped by for dessert and a Whiskey after dinner. We had the Tiramisu and the Apple Tart with Lemon Custard. The Man of Aran Whiskey was very good and I was glad I finally was able to find some. The Apple Tart was outstanding and the addition of the crème and lemon custard to each bite was a bonus. The tiramisu was a big hit as well. We devoured it in no time at all.

They have several seafood dishes including mussels, fish and chips, and other fresh fish choices (pollock and salmon were on the menu when I was there). They also have soup of the day, salads, chicken, and several other choices. They have an early bird menu where you can get 2 items (appetizer and main) for fixed price of 15 euro or 3 items (includes dessert) for 21 euro. Not a bad deal. The burger was decent and comes with both a side salad and fries/chips. Definitely worth a look especially if you are staying nearby.

It's popular and oftentimes there is a line to get a table. The staff does their best to seat guests as soon as possible. Note the closing time of 8pm is firm, so be sure to arrive before that. Staff is kind but due to the busyness of the restaurant, service can be scattered or slow, so remember, you're on vacation. Wine and beer available. Parking can be difficult in the area.

A wonderfully picturesque bistro with spectacular views of the County Claire countryside along the Wild Atlantic Way. From the 100-year-old cottage that the restaurant is situated to the beautiful patio and deck around it, Stonecutters provides the ideal scenery if you're visiting the area when you want to enjoy some delicious cuisine. We started with a bottle of Sangiovese while I noshed on some homemade brown soda bread, which was divine with Irish butter. The seafood tagliatelle was delicious and creamy that I savored every bite between the mussels and prawns and squid. The banofee dessert was magical between the biscuit on the bottom topped with bananas and drizzled with caramel and topped with ice cream. Enjoying our meal amidst the glorious setting was equally as memorable, if not more. No pictures can do justice to just how breathtaking it is to enjoy a meal in such a beautiful setting. Stonecutters is an ideal choice to enjoy dinner that has endless amounts of scenery to enjoy a wonderful outdoor dining experience.

The bright yellow house, turned restaurant is easy to spot on the way to/from the Cliffs of Moher. You pull in to a small playground and a friendly dog roaming the grounds. This place is unusually kid-friendly, while not being child-centric, particularly given the size. By that, I mean, on entering the public toilet area, there is a nifty baby changing station - WITH supplies. Anyone who's had a child can relate this to a restroom having toilet paper! I found it to have very thoughtful touches like that, the special room & playground equipment - I also heard staff tell a patron that the kids get a toy to keep with their meal. I didn't view the kids menu, tho I heard a parent talking about some options with her child, including fish & every child's favorite fun food "spaghetti"! Adults were not forgotten- there were candles on the table and nicely plated meals and home-style options, with a lovely selection of wine and beet to choose from. The service was friendly and helpful- food was well seasoned and properly cooked: fingerling potatoes were crisp outside and tender inside.

The Irish stew and Chicken Curry dishes were delightful, however the cod had plenty of bones left in it. Stay away from the Cabernet Sauvignon it is some of the worst wine, with a vinegar taste.

The service we had from our waitress was amazing, the manager was a horrible individual with no idea of service relations. He rather acted as he knew there are no other choices on the island.
